API CALLBACK automate with MAKE.com

Olá Equipe Strava, Espero que você esteja bem. Meu nome é Ramon, e estou explorando maneiras de integrar o Strava com o Relive usando ferramentas de automação como Make (anteriormente Integromat) ou Zapier. O objetivo é criar uma automação onde, sempre que uma atividade for registrada no Strava, os dados sejam enviados automaticamente para o Relive para gerar um vídeo sem intervenção manual. Gostaria de saber se o Strava oferece suporte para essa integração e quais são as melhores práticas para usar a API do Strava nesse contexto. Se houver alguma documentação ou orientação específica sobre como configurar essa automação, eu agradeceria muito se você pudesse compartilhar comigo. Agradeço desde já sua atenção e aguardo sua resposta. Atenciosamente,RamónTRANSLATION:  Hello Strava Team, I hope you are well.

Club API Feedback and Improvements

Hi, I'm trying to build a small app for my company's Strava club to track weekly "winners" similar to how the club page shows "Distance / Total Running Time / Climbing" leaderboard entries and ran into a few issues in the process that I'd like to raise as well as a suggestion on how to mitigate why I think you built the API the way you did.My goal is to track the 1st/2nd/3rd place for each week and accumulate "medals" for people over the course of the year. Additionally, I'd like to store and keep certain things updated such as "Longest Run This Year" or "Most Elevation In A Run This Year" and post when someone sets a new record. However, I ran into a few issues with the Clubs API and would like to see if there's a different way to accomplish this OR if I can make suggestions instead:Club API doesn't return a timestamp for activities when you call getClubActivitiesById. That's fine, I can work around that by just calling via cron job every 15 minutes and can roughly figure out whe

Request for PHP Code Support and Guidance on Access Token Retrieval

Dear Strava Developer Support Team,I am currently working on a project that requires integrating with the Strava API using PHP. However, I noticed that your official developer site does not provide PHP-supported code examples.After searching, I found a PHP repository on GitHub that seems to be aligned with Strava’s API, but it currently has seven unresolved issues.Additionally, the code requires an "ACCESS TOKEN" to function correctly, but I couldn't find clear documentation on how to generate or retrieve this token specific to PHP implementations.Could you kindly provide guidance or official PHP code examples for integrating with your API? Furthermore, I would appreciate detailed instructions on how to obtain the necessary access token.

Seeking Access to Segment Leaderboard API / Data for Inline Skating App

Hi Strava Dev Community,I’m currently building an app that leverages Strava's API to enhance the experience for inline skaters. Our main goals are to:Highlight Top Skating Segments: Feature the best segments in cities like Singapore, LA, and Barcelona.Reward Top Performers: Display the top 3 skaters per segment and award points to foster friendly competition.Boost Community Engagement: Encourage connections and engagement within the inline skating community.We’re focused on complementing Strava’s existing features without replacing the benefits of a Strava Pro subscription. I tried to use the fetch leaderboard segment API but I believe it's been disabled?Strava API response: 403 Forbidden Leaderboard data: { message: 'Forbidden', errors: [] } Error fetching leaderboard: { message: 'Forbidden', errors: [] }Having access to segment leaderboard data would greatly enhance our ability to do this. Is there any possibility for special access or recommended alternatives that align with Strava’

403 Error : Rate limit exceeded

 We've been experiencing consistent 403 errors (rate limit exceeded) since August 15th, despite consuming only 10% of our daily API quota. Our usage graph shows an inexplicable spike of 100x our normal traffic, resulting in both daily and 15-minute limit breaches. We've paused all API requests, but the graph continues to display high usage.An attached screenshot illustrates the anomalous activity. We suspect a potential DDoS attack is artificially inflating our usage. Has anyone else encountered similar issues? Any guidance or support would be greatly appreciated.

Calories Burned API Call Discrepancy

Calories burned is available when using the getActivityById call but not when using the getLoggedInAthleteActivities call. I am using the API to generate a dataset with ALL of my Strava activities and having calories available for the historic dataset would be ideal. Am I missing something or is there a reason calories have been omitted from the getLoggedInAthleteActivities call?Thanks!

Aug 15th, 2024 - API Issues?

I see on strava status there are problems.  We are facing problems submitting activities via API.  Normally this is very stable for years for us so we are pretty sure strava API has errors.  Anyone else seeing this?

Push Subscription Bad Request 400 error

Hi,I'm working on registering my app for push subscription and when I run the post request outlined here I receive 400 status and this:{"message": "Bad Request","errors": [{"resource": "PushSubscription","field": "callback url","code": "not verifiable"}]}I'm able to get 200 status and the required hub.challenge to return if I hit the callback_url from 1) python requests & 2) curl. Then when I run the post (push subscriptions request) either with Python requests or curl, I receive the above error. Checking my server, I do not receive anything from Strava in this. Its like the callback url is blocked before Strava sends anything to it and I get the above error within 1 second, when it should be waiting 2 seconds for a response.My server is running a flask api with nginx proxying api calls to the flask server. Could this be causing issues?Does anyone else have any ideas for what I can check out? I'm operating at a .ai domain. Anything I should be aware of there?Python:url =

Segment vtt

Bonjour,  Je souhaiterais savoir si lors des enregistrement d'activités vélo, Il serait possible de différencie les les segment et effort par type  de vélo,  VTT, GRAVEL,CYCLISTE, VTTE, car les effort et segment sont confondu pour tout type de vélo,  ce qui fait n'es pas très comparable entre un vtt à gros crampons et cycliste sur route ou même vtte ?TRANSLATION: Hello, I would like to know if when recording cycling activities, It would be possible to differentiate the segments and effort by type of bike, MTB, GRAVEL, CYCLIST, MTB, because the effort and segment are combined for all types of bike, which makes it not very comparable between a mountain bike with big studs and a road cyclist or even a mountain bike?

sport_type when uploading

When I'm uploading an activity using a GPX file, I would very much like to set the sport type correctly. Otherwise it seems like a convoluted method just to update that type. For some reason the activity just ends up being a run. Any thoughts?

Full API Access Struggles

I recently needed to create a second strava api application because I need API access on two different subdomains, but it's incredibly limited with the Number of athletes allowed to connect being capped at 1. As far as I can tell, nowhere on the 'My API Application' page is there a link to apply for actual API access, which is incredibly frustrating from a developer experience standpoint. Still, I filled out the Strava’s Developer Program form that I received in my email. This was almost a month ago, and I haven't received a response of any kind yet. If I've been denied, that's again frustrating from a DX standpoint--I'm only looking to use a different subdomain on an app that's already been verified. It's also obviously pretty disrespectful to not have an email sent letting me know that I've been denied. In general, information about this stuff seems hard to come by, and I don't think it should be that way.

Webhook issue - unable to verify the callback URL.. can I use Zapier?

i tried it by creating a Webhook using a python script but it was unable to verify the callback url for the webhook.. I've gotten the webhook working through Zapier for the purpose of the app, but I'm worried that when I apply to have the app recognised by strava so more people can join it that they wont accept it if it doesn't use a coded in webhook..

API auth access and refresh token

Hello everyone!I have a question regarding when a user authorizes an application linked to strava to get his data and based on that, you get the id of the athlete of that user, his accesstoken and refresh token.My question is, when a user accepts the terms of the application he is joining, if he previously linked to another application, the tokens of that previous application will have expired, right? Because when it is linked to the new application it generates both new access token and refresh.Is there no way to persist minimizing the same refresh?Or any way to access the information of a user without the tokens of that same user?Perhaps using the tokens listed in the API config?The documentation always talks about the authenticated user, but in cases where a user is linked to several applications, it is difficult to always have the tokens due to the rotation that is generated when linking to a new application.

GET segment_efforts

Good morning,I'm trying to obtain the times of each user on a segment, but it's not being possible. Firstly, because if I have the user log in on my platform to exchange the access token, I get an error that only one person can be connected. So, I conducted a test by making this request: https://www.strava.com/api/v3/segment_efforts?segment_id=35310022&start_date_local=2022-05-21T00:00:00Z&end_date_local=2022-05-21T23:59:59Z&per_page=3, which is executed correctly but I had to use the user's access token by creating an API in their profile... and obviously, for my program, I don't want that, to obtain the segment_effort. I would like to know if there would be a possibility to take the times of each user from a segment created with my user acting as an API, specifically using my own Strava API. Always assuming that the user has public visibility.Or what possible solutions are there for this problem.Thank you.

Profile Webhook Events

I'm leveraging Strava for displaying my user data, including the profile photo.The profile photo url that's returned is unique to the photo, so it's not updating the photo it returns automatically.What I figured, then, was that I could just listen to inbound events from the Webhooks and update the Photo URL reference on subscribed users, but I don't seem to be getting any events for user profile updates. Am I missing something? If not, it would be GREAT to have a permanent, static profile url that I just continue to reference.

Rate limit headers changed?

Has anyone else noticed that that the rate limit headers sent with all API responses changed after the outage yesterday? Previously the headers were CamelCase (e.g. X-RateLimit-Limit) and now they are all lowercase (e.g. x-ratelimit-limit).Did I miss an announcement or is this just a surprise change? And I guess if you're reading this, heads up that the headers appear to have changed so if you have any rate limiting logic be sure to update it.
